Hi Everyone.
Just joined and am so relieved I found you. As a sufferer of CH, SUNCT and chronic migraine, I need some help with sorting out some benefits (if possible) because I have recently had to reduce my working hours to 16 hours over 3 days because of the awful suffering I go through. I know I'm not alone and it gives me hope that there are people out there to help.

PermalinkQuick correction to PIP
Quick correction to PIP criteria, it is are you affected 'on over 50% of the days' of the year; not more than 50% of the time. Makes a big difference.
